Various types of mission are available to the galactic entrepreneur. Dock with a space station and the local mission list is full of people who will pay cash for all sorts of services. Assignments often involve taking something or someone somewhere, or capturing someone and returning to the place where the mission was accepted. Sometimes even assassinations are on offer. Select Missions In Progress from the ship display to see the list of missions you have accepted. When you have accomplished the mission, click the Complete icon to finish it and get paid. The galaxy is big, and home to lots and lots of space ships. For some missions, the ability to track one individual target ship is really important. A scanner with tracking ability enables the long range detection of any vessel. The vessel will appear on your Starstandard galactic map when an appropriate mission is accepted. Note that targets in unexplored sectors will not be visible, and also be aware that bases or other targets that are normally visible on the map will have no special highlighting when tracked. The galaxy is also dangerous, and it is quite possible that the man you were going to rescue will get blown to mincemeat before you even get there. If a contract is out on a life, an assassin will have to compete with others to get to the kill first. Assassination is both illegal and difficult. Novice assassins should be careful not to accept assignments that are too far away or too difficult. Professionals know that their life is too high a price to pay for any job. |
